There is a difference between something being declared unconstitutional and something actually being unconstitutional. 5 of 9 unlected lawyers may have the power to make crap up, but we don't have to accept it.
More ignorance and stupidity from the right – in addition to hypocrisy.
Supreme Court justices aren’t subject to elections for a very good and sound reason: the practice is consistent with the fact that we are not a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic, whose citizens are subject solely to the rule of law, not men – as men are incapable of ruling justly; and the rule of law would perish if jurists were subject to ‘popular vote,’ and the injustice inherent in the democratic process.
That this has to be explained to a conservatives comes as no surprise, and is frankly disturbing.
Moreover, when the
Heller Court ruled un-Constitutional the DC handgun ban, we heard nothing from the ridiculous right about 5 of 9 unelected lawyers ‘making crap up,’ such as an individual right to possess a firearm.
When the Supreme Court rules that a given measure is un-Constitutional, it is actually un-Constitutional – whether that measure violates the rights of gun owners or the privacy rights of women.
Conservatives can’t have it both ways.
